Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (surface ebook reader TXT) 📕

I took out my water bottle from my handbag and drink it whole in one gulp to control my tears. I don't want anyone to see my tears.

I reached home at 9.30 PM. When I reached my apartment building I saw a black Lamborghini car was parked just outside of my building which is very similar to Siddharth's car. I wonder whose that car is because I live in a very Middle class area of Delhi. It's not a posh area of the city.

I started walking inside the building but suddenly I felt Someone's gaze on me. I turned back but didn't see anyone. My eyes fall in the black Lamborghini and it's still parked on its place. I turned again and walked into a building.

"Hello...hello..beautiful...how are you?" Kartik asked me standing opposite to my desk.

I smiled and asked him, "I'm fine. You tell how's your trip?"

"Don't ask. I was bored to death without you. You know that how much I missed you." He said with a pout.

Kartik is one of my colleague. His nature is very bubbly and known as the big flirt in the office. He always do flirt with me. I didn't say anything until it's not fun. I felt uncomfortable when Sometimes he try to crack the double meaning jokes but I step back and don't encourage him further. I shrugged it off because this is the metro city and everyone here is open minded. Not everyone here is from small town like me.

"You are not going to change, are you?" I asked him.

"No, never..I changed only one condition?" He said.

"What..?" I asked him.

"Let's go to a romantic date with me. " he said while putting his hand on mine.

I look at our hand and feel little uncomfortable when he rubbed his thumb at the back of my palm and squeezed it slightly. Other than Siddharth, I never allowed to any male to touch my hand or hold it.

I pull back my hand under his and said, " no.."

"Very straightforward answer. You are such a heartbreaker." He said with a pout.

"Aaahmmmm...aaahhhmmm..."

I opened my mouth to say something when I heard someone's throat clearing sound.

Siddharth was standing beside kartik and shooting drager towards him. If looking someone with death glare, can kill a person, kartik is dead till now.

"Preeti I want a file which I gave you yesterday." He said looking kartik angrily and kartik look at him with confusion.

I took out a file from drawer and gave it to him.

I felt a bit thirsty but I don't want to drink water. I want to drink soda so I make my way to the vending machine of soda. I took out a soda can from vending machine, when suddenly I felt a body warmth just behind me. I have Goosebumps all over my body and felt a sensation passing through from my neck to whole body. My heartbeats increase and I know who is standing just behind me. I can recognized his warmth even in my sleep because he is the only one who gave this kind of sensation to my body. I move little to gave him a side.

"Hey..beautiful..what are you drinking give me that." Kartik joined us and take soda from me and drink it. I felt little uncomfortable in front of Siddharth, I don't know what he is thinking right now.

"Come, today have lunch with me." Kartik said while holding my shoulder and rub his palm there.

I felt uncomfortable with his touch. I don't know but sometime kartik behaves very weird. It's just not the healthy flirting. It's more than that, that's why I make my distance to him. But he found his way to talk to me. May be he is like this with everyone. I don't want ruin anything just because of my overthinking. I can sense Siddharth heated gaze on us.

"No, thank you some other time."I said while taking his hand off from my shoulder.

"Okey..beautiful. But next time I will not leave you and have you by myself." Kartik said the last part in whisper but I heard it. I don't know but I can sense that the double meaning behind the sentence.

"Fuck.. " Siddharth hit his fist hardly on a vending machine and I jumped on my place. After taking the soda can he left from there furiously.

Siddharth didn't come out from his whole day. Neither he came outside nor he call me. Whole day he ignored me and gave me a cold shoulder.

He also didn't eat his lunch. When I asked him for a lunch he said he is not hungry. I felt bad that he didn't eat his lunch so I also skipped my lunch. I don't know why suddenly he is behaving like this. It's nothing like that he is in love with me.

I need some papers copy for meeting so I make my way to the photocopy room.

After taking out copy of every paper I put them in a conference room and make my way to my desk but someone hold my hand and pulled me into a dark room and put hand on my mouth to suppress my scream.
